account default for "always bcc" doesn't set the field for new message

I have the same behaviour here.

Sam here. VERY annoying. Make me loose mails all the time.

Wait, is this really a dupe of bug 92036? This is a NEW regression in hardy. bug 92036 was something different, since it was triggered by clicking a mailto: link from outside evolution. This bug is about the fact that the first account's BCC settings are ignored even when creating a new message from inside evolution!

Similar effect, but different cause. It may have the same solution, but I'm not sure this should be considered a dupe until that's determined.

Agreed - upstream bug report is in direct conflict with new behaviour reported here.

Upstream (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=274052) says:
1. Compose new mail starting from evolution menus
- BCC: present
- signature: present

While this behaviour is:
1. Compose new mail starting from evolution menus
- BCC: not present
- signature: present

The missing BCC: follows the default around. If you change default mail accounts, only that one will be missing the BCC. This is clearly DISTINCT AND NOT A DUPLICATE of 92036. I'd say they aren't even close cousins as the mechanism for creating emails in each case are distinct.

What is the upstream gnome defect for this?

Evolution: 2.22.1
evolution version 2.22.1-0ubuntu2
evolution-common version 2.22.1-0ubuntu2

I'm trying to understand how this bug got triaged as a Low Importance. Can someone explain that to me--it's one of the few bugs in Hardy that prohibits me from recommending folks upgrade. (There are certainly other bugs in Hardy but this one effects me every day with each email I write.)

Is Evolution not "core"?

The "sister bug":

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/92036

has been present for very long time (at least Gutsy).

how it has been triaged as low? there is some thousand evolution bugs open, this one is not a crasher, it's not loosing any user datas, and it's concerning a feature that is enable automatically. the number of comments and duplicates seems to indicate it's not a priority for lot of users which means it's a low importance issue. now we don't deny that some people have a workflow adapt to this feature and that it would be nice to get that fixed but the team has limited ressources and has to prioritize the work, we will fix it in hardy-updates and 8.04.1 if possible though

I get your point but I really am loosing data as I always forget to manually add the BCC.

the mails you send are stored in the sent folder though no?

They could. But I use no sent folder as it breaks up the threading and make it harder to follow.

So sure, it's my workflow that is extra sensitive to this bug - but it's still a big issue according to me.

I'm happy if I don't need to wait to 8.10.

the bug has been fixed upstream and the change will be backported to hardy

I can confirm that the 2.22.1.1 update fixes the issue

Just performed last Evolution updates on Hardy (8.10), but BCC field is still empty.

excuse me for two consecutive messages.
I tried with two different accounts.
When I open the new message window (with default account) Bcc is still empty.
If, in the same window, I switch to the second account and than to the default one, the Bcc field is correctly filled with programmed address.

This is still not completely fixed (though it is mostly fixed). Most cases appear to now work but there is at least one that doesn't:

1) select an existing message
2) right click on an email address in the header of the message
3) select Send New Message To...
4) Note that the BCC field is not filled in.

the issue you describe seems to be bug #92036

bug #92036 is different. It's about when the user clicked a mailto: link in an external link. What I described is, IIRC, part of the regression specific to the 2.22 series.

Accepted into -proposed, please test and give feedback here

Fixed, thank you (2.22.1.1-0ubuntu2 amd64).

hardy-proposed copied to intrepid.

verification done:

- test with evolution from hardy (2.22.1-0ubuntu3.1), followed the test case and after create a new message the BCC field is empty.
- test with evolution from proposed (2.22.1.1-0ubuntu3), followed the test case, click on create new message the BCC field contains the email address i've set on the step 1, bug is fixed, thanks.

ugh, on the step 2 not 1.

Copied to hardy-updates.
